Sorry, but America needs a strong leader NOW.

Biden is not President yet. He’s not going to dictate policy other than support it vs not support it. And honestly that’s how it should be. Just because Trump took a **** all over every norm imaginable doesn’t mean that other Presidents need to do the same. Trump should be treated as an outlier not the new normal.


Support it? Is that what we meant when he meekly answered, "yes"? Are you actually making the argument that by Biden taking that opportunity for a passionate plea to our legislature in Congress to pass a $2,000 per person stimulus check to Americans in desperate need is akin to taking "a **** all over every norm imaginable." These are not normal times. This is when a leader is supposed lead. When you have an opportunity to move the ball forward, you take your shot. Who was going to make a big deal about it anyhow? Sean Hannity? LOL

Do you remember when Reagan established a backchannel with Iran during hostage crisis at the time of the 1980 election when he ran against Jimmy Carter? You establishment types bend over backwards to support this meaningless tradition when we have criminals as President and Senate Majority Leader fcking us up the ass. Typical.


Because Biden is a coward and nothing but a corrupt puppet for whoever fills the coffers the most. He doesn’t care AT ALL about the American people.

We had our chance with Bernie but too many of the people in this country are **** blind. Biden is busy napping now when we need him to be vocal :banghead:

Nice job by Ossoff here. By the way, anyone else getting like 20 emails from him a day asking for more money? The headings are actually very witty.

Ossoff is very well spoken. You'd have to be very partisan not to see the huge difference in personal qualities between him and Perdue. Maybe that is all Republicans these days, but I'd like to think he won over a few of them with that moment.

Loeffler is horrific as well.

Ossoff and Buttigieg have been driving stakes into the heart of Fox News viewers and personalities on a routine basis. Fox is almost taking a perverse pleasure in it it seems. :lol: The 2 are great communicators. If Ossoff doesn't get elected in Ga, Biden should get this guy a start in national politics with the Biden administration.

I think we’d get better results if we sent the band over there instead.

I and1 a post below not because I believe the trump supporters are the good good guy at least he had the balls to post his opinion.

But let me make this clear trump supporters are not the good guys, everything they based their beliefs in are lies and how do trump supporters justify supporting a liar that has lied to the American public over 20 thousand times. How do claim to be christian when you support a liar and man who cheats one his wife pays off porn stars and then help to cause the deaths of coming up on 400 thousand Americans.


I implore all trump supporters to research what is being said by him not on Qanon sites or lies but facts that would stand up in a court of law. And lets be honest here 50 cases thrown out 2 cases by SCOTUS with republican judges. How do yu stand by while kids are thrown in cages, families separated based on prejudice because they are brown.

Even the tax break is trump pushed thru is garbage, look at the facts Please Trump0 supporters are not the good guys in this fight they have not been the good guys no matter how many times they lied about being the good guys. You cant be a good guy when you support someone who spews hate and lies


Articles like this are cute but overcomplicating it - the truth is that Trump supporters think our side is the good guys who are fighting for the law and freedom (of not just America but the world), and your side is the bad guys who are supporting the corrupt tyrants who are on track to destroy our way of life they gain total power. There shouldn't be a divide this clean between good guys and bad guys, except every once in a while there is. Maybe in 2015 it was more complicated but as is often the case, as soon as the bad guys got threatened, they chose tripling down on the darkness route to get away with it, rather than make an attempt to move to the light.

Every villain in history had major parts of the population supporting them. Because they used money and power to control information and manipulate a lot of people.

Personally I'm more confident than just about anything in my life who the good guys are in this fight. Whether they win or lose in the next few weeks I feel history will vindicate that. I could not be more proud to fight for freedom in this moment even if just using words on social media.

let's be clear what steal. Trump lost the election did you know in Cobb County the accuracy in the vote was 99.9 percent Try imaging that Trump lost. There is no steal other then the people supporting trump trying to disenfranchise people who voted for Biden. A trump vote is not worth more then a biden vote there is no proof of the steal by the left.

All this crap they are spewing is just crap based on population and voters rolls from 4 to 8 yrs ago as if populations do not grow.
Trump Supporters do the math Trump lost the popular vote twice this time he lost the Electoral college and that is why he lost. MAybe if he spent more time leading rather then tweeting lies he would have won

I’d be interested to see the polls with likely voters aka the voters that have already voted early. I believe that would skew Democratic, but you could probably reverse engineer the Election Day splits required to put Loeffler and Perdue over

Lin Wood is acting so completely nuts (calling Epstein alive, saying Roberts is a pedo, going after Pence, etc.) that it makes me think he's in kayfabe. Trump is using him and Patrick Byrne (out here posting 4chan theories) to spread disinformation and cloud his opponents in the fog of war therefore less able to see what he's really up to.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

That dudes rant was completely delusional and detached from reality. I was going to respond but I thought the better of it. It’s gaslighting at its highest levels (lmao at Republicans being the party of law and order). You notice how everything was so vague and general? That could have been written by someone on the left as well. And that’s what it boils down to for Trump supporters, if they can’t provide specifics about anything they believe without using outright lies or misinformation.

That is one of the most pathetic conspiratorial posts I've seen yet. What a convoluted way to deflect away from Trump's own stupidity in order to preserve your fragile, completely unsubstantiated image of Trump as competent and in control. Get it through your thick skull, Trump is an idiot. Only idiots cling to these fantasies of overturning the election and here you are talking out of both sides of your mouth trying to claim Trump is a Jedi playing mind tricks by pushing disinfo. What kind of person are you then if you think it is OK for the POTUS to be engaged in using ludicrous disinfo to further his agenda? You just talked yourself into a corner where you have zero scruples and you support a man without morals willing to do anything to further his ridiculous goal of negating a fair election. You have really shat the bed this time.

That was really good by Ossoff. He’s a good candidate, hits all the right notes. The problem is exactly what you pointed out, Republicans are highly partisan (I’d argue Democrats are more ambivalent) that they don’t bother actually paying attention to the candidates or compare them to their own values

Trafalgar having Ossoff and Warnock ahead is significant. They are extremely bias to conservatives
